WOODY VASULKA | SYNTACTIC RECOLLECTIONS |

PHIL SPACE presents the exhibition, “Syntactic Recollections,” a perspective honoring of the work of Woody Vasulka.

WOODY VASULKA | Woody (Bohuslav) Vasulka was born in Brno, CZ in 1937 and died in Santa Fe, NM in 2019. Valsulka studied in Prague, where he met and married Steina Bjarnadottir, from Iceland, and together they emigrated to the U.S. in 1965. Individually and together, the Vasulkas have been at the international forefront of video and electronic media arts since 1969. In 1971, they founded The Kitchen in New York City, the first international center for video and new music arts presentations.

Woody Vasulka’s early creative works pioneered the investigation of ‘signal’ as syntactic visual language, experimenting with most electronic imaging and sound synthesis/processing systems, leading from analog to digital to photonic tool applications and transcendent artistry. Woody’s theatrical installations using robotics and software-controlled interactive components to explore new forms of techno-spatial narrative, have been presented internationally since the 1980s.

The Vasulkas were not only active artists and inventors of new technologies for over a quarter-century, but founders in 1971 of The Kitchen in New York City, the first international center for video and new music arts presentations.
